MangosSharp is an open source project written in C#. It's fast and stores game data in MySQL or MariaDB.
If you liked the original incarnation of World of Warcraft and still want to play it, this is the branch for you. We provide an authentication server where you can manage your users, and a world server which serves game content just like the original did back then.
It aims to be 100% compatible with the 3 final versions of Vanilla World of Warcraft,
namely patch 1.12.1, patch 1.12.2 & patch 1.12.3.
IT DOES NOT SUPPORT 1.13.x and beyond which is the newly released Classic Experience (NuClassic).
Supported platforms: Windows 10+, Linux, MacOS, Docker
.NET 7 SDK
MySQL 8.0
Visual Studio 2022 or any other editor with .NET 7 support
The server stands on the shoulders of several well-known Open Source libraries plus a few awesome, but less known libraries to prevent us from inventing the wheel again.
We have a small, but extremely friendly and helpful community managed by MadMax and Antz.
Our discord/forum motto is:
'Be nice or Be somewhere else'Any trolling or unpleasantness is swiftly dealt with !!
We welcome anyone who is interested in enjoying older versions of wow or contributing and helping out !
We also have a Discord server where many of us hang out and discuss Mangos related stuff.
The repository of as much information as we can pack in. Details regarding the Database, file type definitions, packet definitons etc.
